Teachers fear school won’t be opened for months

Closed until further notice: Coney Island’s PS 188 on Neptune Avenue may be closed for months due to damage it sustained during Hurricane Sandy, and the little scholars there have been sent elsewhere to earn their education.

School’s out in Coney Island, but the learning continues.

Kids in Coney Island celebrated their first day back at school after Hurricane Sandy hit last week — just not at PS 188.

Meanwhile, the city has arranged for kids in grades pre-K and kindergarten to occupy classrooms in PS 212 in Fort Hamilton. Children in grades one through five are taking lessons at IS 281, also in Fort Hamilton.

But students won’t have to worry about finding their classes — their teachers wait for them at the door.

“As soon as they walk in they’re greeted by a smile from their own teachers, so they feel very, very comfortable,” said Kravitsky.
